Top names including Rio Ferdinand, 34, Ashley Cole, 32, and Theo Walcott, 24, have their abilities laid bare in the game’s skill ratings.

Experts have been crunching the numbers all year to work out how good each one is at running, dribbling, passing and scoring.

“Players love to play as themselves, so their ratings are important. Whenever we speak to players the first thing they ask is: ‘What are my stats like?”

And while many will be delighted at their rating, others’ poor results will be the butt of training ground banter when the game launches today.

Stars who play the PlayStation game moan their computer likenesses are “too slow” or “pass poorly”, according to Fifa 14’s creators.

A spokesman for EA Sports, which makes the game, said: “Players love to play as themselves, so their ratings are important. Whenever we speak to players the first thing they ask is: ‘What are my stats like?’

“We’ve even had Rio Ferdinand tweet us in the past complaining about his pace stats and that we’d made him too slow.”
